This feisty Pisces is both right and left brained. Dentistry, she considers “the art part of medicine,” where she’s been creating beautiful smiles for over 25 years in private practice.

With nature as her inspiration, she paints en plein air, from photos and still life, in acrylic, oil and watercolor.~
